Three lorries were involved in the pile-up, with two of them carrying migrant workers.
Most of them apparently suffered minor injuries. One worker had to be administered oxygen, while others were lying down as they waited for paramedics to examine them.
In addition, one of the lorries had severe damage in front, with a cracked windscreen and the front part sunken in.
8world News reported that SCDF officers had to extract two people trapped in the front seat of the lorry using hydraulic rescue tools.
The police confirmed to Shin Min Daily News that 26 people were conveyed to three different hospitals:
As a result of the accident, there were traffic jams on the KJE that stretched all the way to the Sungei Tengah exit.
We wish everyone involved a speedy recovery. May this serve as a reminder to everyone to always drive safely, especially if they’re ferrying multiple passengers.
